NML 1914 Team Game 11

@Witt said in NML 1914 Team Game 11:

@Colt45554 Our peasants don’t fear Gas…tsvg
That’s because they retaliate by “I fart in your general direction” (Monty Python).
Russia luck continues, buy 1 tech token and get bunker tech. Now with HG and bunker techs, you will have very tough defense. And building conscripts for cheap defense against gas.

@dawg is up as USA

@Elrood Yes, an interesting opening gambit to spice up the game. A distraction for G and USA. G spends more defending than it earns there, but it also ties up USA funds that could otherwise go overseas or to conquer neutrals in Central America. Based on the German telegram to the Mexican government (intercepted by Brits) proposing or suggesting that Mexico attack USA.

Wow, lopsided dice from battle to battle, but in my favor in the big battle that counted most. Finally out-diced R. Gas attack on E Poland was 15-for-15, killing everyone but 1 HG. Negative 12 TUV, but worth killing artillery and inf before R could bring up conscripts to take the hits. Just used 1 cav to escort the gas. R is lucky he got bunkers last turn, or Austria could have walked into E Poland and Belarus this round. All together on eastern front, killed 20 R ground units at the cost of 2 of mine and 15 gas.

German army destroyed the Yanquis in Monterrey, and will take Texas back from the USA next turn. Then on to the undefended Great Plains. USA got late fighter, so can eventually contain G. But at the cost of diverting units bound for Europe.

@Elrood It downloads and opens for me when I use the posted link.

@Elrood No, no, you don’t want those bossy Brits telling you what to do with your fleet And tell them it’s not the Eng Ch, but the French Channel.

@Elrood G attacked your cav in Pic, for 6 rounds with inf and fig and missed every time. Finally, your cav hit and I retreated my fig rather than risk losing it. I haven’t yet been able to take both Pic and Burg using just one ground unit in each battle. But, my success elsewhere made this small loss tolerable.
